Overall, I think that the poem, Sometimes with One I Love by Walt Whitman, theme is about love and love within someone. Also, there is the point of how one person sees and feels love.
In the poem, I found a form of literary device which was alliteration, Sometimes with one I love I fill myself with rage for fear I, I found this in the first line of the poem. In this line they are expressing I, which interprets that the poem is focusing on one individual. Another literary device that I found was metaphor which is expressed in lines five, six and seven, I loved a certain person ardently and my love was not return'd, Yet out of that I have written these songs. These lines compare love and songs, which both have in common in some ways and also have their differences. .
1Sometimes with one I love I fill myself with rage for fear I.
2effuse unreturn'd love,.
3But now I think there is no unreturn'd love, the pay is.
4certain one way or another,.
5(I loved a certain person ardently and my love was not.
6return'd,.
7Yet out of that I have written these songs.).
1This line of the poem is trying to tell people that love doesn't always bring love and happiness but it can also bring fear in people that they could have between the both of them.
2The main and straight fourth point of this line of the poem is he/she has received no love that has been spread upon them.
3The person is no convinced that no one will return love to them and that there is pay off to love for someone.
4 Love goes different directions, good or bad. No one can control it.
5This person loves a particular person that he/she keeps warm and is intense in feeling with.
6Still no love has been returned.
7Since he/she has received no love and they are still depressed about that, they start writing songs to express themselves and to relieve the stress and frustration. .
This poem by Whitman does not have free verse because he continues to use rhyme as "I" throughout the poem.
